    A true 154 pounder asking another true 154 pounder to fight at 152 is a deliberate catchweight...


    You're right. 154 is a division. Fighting an unranked junior middleweight at 150 (Margarito) for a belt is a far worse catchweight.

      Oscar cherry picked Manny and then got chained to his stool.

        Oscar was the A side and signed the contract

        P.s 147 is a division.

        Fraud fought an overated mexiCAN at a catchweight and screwed another on one

          Flowmo logic: De La Hoya was drained in a catchweight that Manny the career 147-lber and cash cow had forced on poor Oscar. It wasn't impressive.

          But what he did was so miraculous and impossible that the only explanation for it is that he was on that A-Side Meth. Bullets bouncin offa his ass n ****.

            No because not all CWs are equal you are all hung up on the CW which on face value doesnt mean anything , what matters is the effect of a CW and thats on an individual basis , you cannot throw a blanket over all CWs because they not all the same , Oscar was the worst case of weight drained Ive ever seen in a contest of this level .

            But let's not let facts get in the way of rewriting History.
            True it was a cherry pick gone very wrong , not Mannys fault but he beat a dead man walking and fans pumping the win up for Manny is not telling the whole story , actually I bet the version of Oscar Floyd fought , the 20 lb bigger Oscar that Floyd fought , would beat the hell out of Manny probably stopping him .

              Haha, of course not. I forgot that Floyd is like the L. Ron Hubbard of the Floyd stans. He's infallible.

                No version of Oscar at any point of his career isn't getting absolutely wrecked by Manny from that night. Weight wasn't the issue, it was the skill and speed. Nacho said it himself 'No point in continuing... he's just too fast'.

                  I forgot how hard it is to get a legit answer from a Pac ****** , just learn some more about boxing especially CWs making weight and fight night weights , it will paint a picture for you that you have never seen before .

                    165 pound Oscar will go through Manny like a hot knife threw butter , all you see is one guy bashing another you have no clue about the weights .

                    You will see on May 2nd how a non drained bigger fighter handles Manny because the exact scenario is in this fight , this the smallest guy Floyd has fought is many years , and Floyd is not drained , Manny is getting dominated as you will see .

                      Floyd isn't eloquent. He obviously means Oscar wasn't comfortable, which is true. And it was Oscar's own fault for cashing in on that sideshow fight.
